Nice..... very nice!
Re: Thunda Babe
Carb action today. Set up adapters with 12 degree carb angle.
Re: Thunda Babe
A little more progress on the rockers. The exhaust rockers are all but done with respect to final pattern adjustments. The inlet rockers are a real challenge as there is simply no room to add the extra bulk required if we go with aluminium as a material. The inlet rocker original geometry is a mess so I'm working on a way to raise and offset the rocker shaft without altering the head. The fun continues.
Re: Thunda Babe
Final patterns done and the new inlets rockers fit. One major hurdle done.
Re: Thunda Babe
Looks like I'm going to have to go 40 thou over if I use this block. The broken ring has done a bit of damage to the bore.
Re: Thunda Babe
Ouch! Not what you were expecting?
Re: Thunda Babe
It was an unknown block. I was told it was a runner. I picked it up at a farm clearing sale with two other engines and five gearboxes for $150. Now I know!
Re: Thunda Babe
I think you're still in front Craig.
Re: Thunda Babe
A little distraction today. Couldn't resist it and nor should I waste such good weather. It had to be done.
Re: Thunda Babe
Ripping day alright. Where is this?
